Teresa Blaes goes solo this week while Mischelle Saunders-Gottsch sits out for football coverage, and Teresa breaks down two games that felt like statements. The Arizona Cardinals beat the L.A. Chargers 26 to 14 behind complementary football, a strong defensive push late, and a big afternoon disrupted only by a third-quarter injury to Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey. Teresa is impressed but not ready to call the Cardinals a finished product, especially with a tougher test coming against Seattle....

Teresa Blaes and Mischelle Saunders-Gottsch look back at the full preseason for their three teams and get ready for real football to start. Denver gets the nod as the best overall preseason performer of the group, even though Teresa cautions that none of the three teams were playing their true starters. The pair are watching closely to see whether Bo Nix can stay healthy for the Chiefs–Broncos opener on Monday Night Football, and whether Denver’s defense can slow down Kansas City. The Chiefs ar...

eresa Blaes hosts solo on Blaes and Gottsch (Michelle returns next week) to wrap up the 2026 NFL preseason, recapping three teams’ final preseason games: Arizona put up impressive offense (492 yards) but blew a lead, letting Green Bay score 15 unanswered points in the final five minutes to lose 38–42. Big question mark: can they close out games? Green Bay had the standout performance of the preseason, routing Minnesota 34–6, outgaining them 412–269 yards and keeping them out of the end zone en...

Teresa Blaes flies solo this week (Mischelle is off and back next episode) to break down a rough weekend — all three teams lost, but for three very different reasons. Arizona dropped a 34-13 game to Dallas, where Joe Milton threw for 179 yards and two scores and the Cowboys never let up. The detail Teresa zeroes in on isn’t the scoreline but Coach LaFleur’s postgame comment that the loss reflected a sloppy week of practice. Gardner Minshew’s 177 yards was the lone bright spot; penalties and an ...

Teresa Blaes and Mischelle Saunders-Gottsch are back after a break (Teresa’s been recovering from surgery, and yes, the power rankings are still coming) to dig into the first wave of preseason football across their three teams. Teresa opens with a hard take: the Chiefs looked rusty, with a lackluster offense and 12 penalties — a game that felt more like college ball than pro. Mischelle pushes back, pointing out that Andy Reid leans heavily on rookies and roster-bubble guys in preseason and it’s...

Teresa Blaes flies solo again for the first football of the year, opening with congratulations to the 2026 Hall of Fame class and a tribute to Larry Fitzgerald. She then breaks down the Hall of Fame game, a 33 to 30 Panthers win over the Cardinals sealed by a Haynes King scramble. Her first note is a caution: rookie quarterback Carson Beck looked good, but he was going up against other rookies, and she wants to see him against veterans before anyone crowns him QB1. She calls out the defense for ...
